I need to produce an image for a 76" x 43" print. My original file is a 6mp dslr and is 3000x2000ish. Any thoughts on the idea file size for this size of print.

on a related topic, i have seen a competition i would like to enter and they specify image must be saved to cd at 300dpi jpeg. I am using ps elements, and under 'resolution' it says pixels per inch but not dots, is this the same thing? If not how do I choose 300 dpi to save to?
Thanking you in advance

Thanks Sabeur,
I tried this, my default seems to be 72, when I convert to 300 ppi the image goes huge on the screen. Do i then have to spefify a size in cm, or do you think this is what the magazine want, and they do it themselves. They only speify the dpi.
